#FridayFive: Raiders of the Lost Ark Tibetan Bar Showdowns I’d Like to See

View the Friday Five from December 27th, 2013

  • I can’t really imagine Tom Cruise in Footloose. But I guess I can see Johnny Depp as Ferris Bueller.
  • The University of Florida Gators won yet another national title— in bass fishing.
  • The Football FAQ should be required reading for just about everyone.
  • UCLA crushed everyone to win a NCAA National Championship in Gymnastics at a competition held at the University of Florida O’Connell Center last Friday night.
  • This year marks the first time since 1974 that the Patriots have had a draft with three players from the same school selected, as they’ve picked outside linebacker Jermaine Cunningham (second round, No. 53), inside linebacker Brandon Spikes (second round, No. 62) and tight end Aaron Hernandez (fourth round, No. 113) — all from the University of Florida. The NFL Draft is approaching the end of the fifth round and no team has more draftees than Florida’s nine.
  • I have been a Patriots fan since at least ’83, but Thursday night, like Dan, I was instantly converted into a Broncos fan.

  • Not many things are cooler than Johnny Depp reading a letter from Hunter S. Thompson.
  • The Zodiac Killer! Grey goo! There are all sorts of creepy Wikipedia articles.
  • The team @Flip has done it again. They are just killing in the video recorder market. Their new product — the Flip SlideHD — is incredible. It shoots 4 hours of HD video and has a touchscreen. (via The Awesomer)
  • Phil Mickelson visited Krispy Kreme, wearing his spiffy new green jacket.
  • The best Twitter exchange of the year has got to go to Aimee Mann and Ice T.
  • I don’t subscribe to Scientific American, but I always grab it in airport bookstores. My favorite recurring feature is the one that details an interesting article from 50, 100, and 150 years ago. So it was with some pleasure that I discovered that the author of one of my favorite blogs, Ironic Sans, has recently started publishing Sunday Magazine. Every Friday he posts the most interesting articles from the New York Times Sunday Magazine from 100 years ago that weekend. Trés cool.
  • The towel-folding robot is just more proof that I am going to get to meet C-3PO (or at least R2-D2) in my lifetime.

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.
